Council clears airport pay application and hears pool renovation timeline

Council approved a pay application for airport pavement maintenance engineering services totaling $7,757.20. The chair recorded a motion by Dennis with a second and roll-call, and the motion carried unanimously. The transcript references a federal grant and a city/county sponsor share figure "up to $193.93"; the precise grant-percentage language in the transcript appears garbled and should be confirmed with staff or the grant paperwork.

During non-agenda comments, resident Pam Omelyn asked for a progress update on the pool project. Peyton, the public works director, said the preliminary design is complete, the final reduced plan set (about three pages) will be circulated to council for feedback, and that the project focuses on interior work, plumbing and some outside concrete and walkways rather than a complete rebuild. Peyton said bids should be issued next month and that the current projected schedule lists the pool opening on June 14, 2027, though he added he expects the work could be completed sooner.
